Abstract

In the firefighting field, firefighters have always been threatened by the risk from flame, heat, toxic gas, and more in the fire. To protect the safety of firefighters and provide an appropriate guide over fire suppression operations, the firefighters’ and environmental information on the fire should be collected and analyzed on a real-time basis. Particularly, it is certain that transmitting firefighter’s biometric information to the fire information center using unrestraint and unconscious sensing networking is an important task for firefighter safety. Therefore, we propose a sensing networking method to protect the safety of firefighter guided according to digital firefighter protective clothing embedded by fire-related sensors. The guide logic and routing processes of the firefighters in the fire is, also, proposed. The propagation performance on the sensing networks was evaluated according to the path count for propagating the sensing data from source node to destination node in the normal and faulty processes.
